The U.S. Department of Commerce ruled that the second double counter survey of PV Enterprises in China

Daily economic journalist Chadaukun from Nanjing

June 3, the U.S. Department of Commerce ruled that the second double counter investigation of China's photovoltaic companies, which undoubtedly stimulated the nerves of many photovoltaic enterprises in China. The

, including Yingli Energy, Suntech, Sun FAI and Solar, have issued statements expressing strong opposition. Subsequently, June 6, led by the German solar power plant Solarworldag, the European Union of Solar manufacturers, Euprosun, handed to the EU executive committee, accusing Chinese photovoltaic companies lower than last year agreed to the lowest price to Europe output solar panels.

This, in the opinion of the industry, is likely to make a comeback in Europe against China's photovoltaic companies.

Multiple Enterprise Declarations "counterattack"

World's largest component supplier Yingli Green Energy said the US government's decision to levy a countervailing duty on Chinese photovoltaic manufacturers would make solar power more expensive for American consumers. "The US decision will unfortunately make solar power more expensive for US consumers and reduce the tens of thousands of of us solar jobs that we help create," said Robertpetrina, general manager of Yingli Green Energy America, a US subsidiary of Yingli Green Energy. "

Miao Lianseng, chairman and chief executive of Yingli Green Energy, said:" Because we are now witnessing globally, tariffs are not the answer to promoting low-cost solar energy. We support national trade and fair competition, and hope that these will prevail at the end of this dispute. "

Rouxin, Suntech chief executive, who was found to impose tariffs of up to 35%, said:" It is totally unfair for the United States to decide to impose a 35% tariff on Suntech because our company does not receive subsidies from the Chinese government. " Our ability to produce high quality, low-cost PV modules stems from our efficient manufacturing processes and the size of our supply chain. "

Another company in Jiangsu Province, solar, also issued a statement opposing any form of trade protection.

In this respect, Yuwen, a photovoltaic industry expert, told the Daily Economic news reporter, "the second double opposition to these companies in the United States is indeed very large, seriously affecting the export of U.S. PV products, so the statement of opposition is also helpless." In addition, these photovoltaic companies should also find ways to resolve the U.S. double counter, such as building factories in the United States and increase the development of the domestic market. "

European companies follow the" peat "

Peat, immediately after the second double counter in the United States, the European Solar agency accuses Chinese PV companies of falling below last year's agreed minimum price for exporting solar panels to Europe, violating anti-dumping agreements.

June 6, European Solar representative Agency EuprosuN submitted more than 1000 pages of documents to the European Commission's Trade Council detailing Chinese manufacturers ' proposals to sell below agreed prices.

Among them, German photovoltaic manufacturers, Prosun, the main agitator behind the initial EU investigation, accusing Chinese manufacturers of SolarWorld, insisted that Chinese companies "neither pay tariffs nor comply with the minimum price agreement".

At the same time, Euprosun President Milan Nizsico said EU trade rules are being systematically violated by Chinese manufacturers, "it seems that no Chinese manufacturer has followed the agreed minimum price for exporting to the EU, dumping Chinese solar products continue to pour into the EU market, destroying European industries and jobs, The Committee must act quickly to put an end to these violations and to impose sanctions. "

It is understood that, according to the settlement reached last year, about 100 companies in China can still export their products duty-free to the EU, provided the price of its solar panels is set at more than 0.56 euros per watt.

However, according to the proposal, the charges include solar wafer maker Jiangxi LDK and solar wafer, battery and component manufacturer Crystal Division energy. According to Euprosun, the Department of Energy and LDK still sold solar panels at a low price of € 0.45 per watt and € 0.46 a year in April.

In this case, Yuwen said, "if the facts are true, as the European Solar Agency says, then it does not rule out a two-counter investigation into the EU's launch of a new round of photovoltaic products to China." The
